Hi Wolfe
I know this has been covered before, but can someone show me some code to allow only 1 trade per bar? Thanks.
This works for me
datetime LastOpenTime=0;
//////////////////////////////////////////
int Order;
for(int t=0;t<OrdersTotal();t++)
{
if(OrderSelect(t, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES))
{
if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumbers && OrderType() == OP_SELL)
{
if(OrderOpenTime()>LastOpenTime)LastOpenTime=OrderOpenTime();
}
}
}
Then I just stick it in my code
if(LastOpenTime0)
{ OrderSend(blah blah
Time[0] being the start of the candle of your timeframe so make sure you choose the right time frame
This works for me
datetime LastOpenTime=0;
//////////////////////////////////////////
....................
Time[0] being the start of the candle of your timeframe so make sure you choose the right time frameThis is may a bit more simple :
datetime LastOpenTime; //Global var
[/CODE]
[CODE]
int init()
{
LastOpenTime=Time[0];
}
int start()
{
................
if(LastOpenTime!=Time[0])
{
// do your trade code
LastOpenTime=Time[0];
}
..............
return(0);
}Your "trade code" will be execute one time only on any candle. There wont be any trade on that candle anymore even if you close your MT4 and turn it on again. But please notice, let say you activate the EA on a 5pm candle, there won't be any trade too on that candle, you have to wait for the next candle.

Global, put this before init()
In the order placement and/or order close stuff, wrap it in this:
{
if blah blah blah, gimme pips // not actual functions but you get the idea
if blah blah blah, close orders // um
}Common function outside main loop:
[CODE]//--- returns true if current bar just formed
bool NewBar()
{
if(PreviousBar<Time[0])
{
PreviousBar = Time[0];
return(true);
}
else
{
return(false);
}
return(false);
}Help on Programming
Hi,
I've been doing my bes to try programming some things, but I've hit a brick wall. So I tried something real simple. If I uncomment "Print("Five");" and test the program it will only print "Yahooooooo". (Well it prints One" as well). Now with "Print("Five");" commented out, even the "Yahooooooo" doesn't print. What am I missing??
Close all pending and open order when 1 trade hit TP
Hi,
I'm trying to write a codes in my EA that will close all pending and open orders once there is 1 trade that hit TP. Below is the codes that I used, seems not working. Can somebody take a look and advise what is missing. Thanks.
if( PreviousOpenOrders > OpenOrders )
{
for( cnt = OrdersTotal()-1; cnt >= 0; cnt-- )
{
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
mode = OrderType();
if( OrderSymbol() == Symbol() &&
OrderMagicNumber()==Magic)
{
if( mode == OP_BUY ) OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),OrderClosePrice(),slippage,Blue);
if( mode == OP_SELL ) OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),OrderClosePrice(),slippage,Red);
if (mode == OP_SELLLIMIT) OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
if (mode == OP_BUYLIMIT) OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
}
}
}
}
Use Bid and Ask respectively instead of OrderClosePrice()...

Hello ralph,
can you help to give an example. Thanks for the help.

If you do not use brackets, only one line is executed. It depends of what you want to do, but you should do it like this:
{
Print("Five");
Print("Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooo");
}if( mode == OP_BUY ) OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,slippage,Blue);
if( mode == OP_SELL ) OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Ask,slippage,Red);
Move Stop Once
Here is my bit of code for moving the stoploss to breakeven after a certain profit. Is there anything wrong with it?
if(MoveStopOnce && MoveStopWhenPrice > 0) {
if(Bid - OrderOpenPrice() == Point * MoveStopWhenPrice) {
OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(), Bid - Point * MoveStopTo, OrderTakeProfit(), 0, Red);
if (!EachTickMode) BarCount = Bars;
continue;
}
}
